Will Still in contention for Sunderland job

Sunderland: Despite departing Stade de Reims, the team is still vying for the position of head coach.
After taking over in October 2022 and leading the team to 11th and ninth-place finishes in Ligue 1,

Will Still left Stade de Reims in May. During the 2022–2023 season,

Still guided Reims to a 19–game unbeaten run that had him connected with the Leeds, Sunderland, and Southampton positions.

According to Sky Sports News, Will Still is one of the candidates to take over as Sunderland’s next head coach.

After taking over in October 2022,

the Englishman left Stade de Reims in May following their ninth-place finish in the French premier tier.

Still has stated that he would “love” to work in the Premier League and that he wants to manage in England.

The 31-year-old took an unusual path to managing, starting out as a video analyst in

Belgian leagues before assuming the position of manager at Beerschot VA.

 

After serving as his assistant, he succeeded Oscar Garcia at Reims in 2022,

leading the team to a ninth-place result, which they repeated last year.

In an interview with Sky Sports in March 2023, Still stated that he would “love” to manage in the Premier League.

He specifically mentioned Vincent Kompany, the head coach of Bayern Munich at the time who had proved himself in

the EFL before moving on to lead Burnley.

“I think if you asked any kid what they would like to do, they would say they would love to be a Premier League footballer or manager,

and I’m no different,” Still said in an interview with Sky Sports.

I grew up in the same way as everyone else and dreamed the same dreams. I’ll continue working on them.

“I hope that one day I will have earned it, but until then,

I realize how much work lies ahead of me and how little time I have left.”
